The cigarette is bad and not smoked. Xiao Jingbo's brain has turned several times, and if it is said that the first ambush was not very lucky, then the second ambush is not just a matter of luck.

After calming down, Xiao Jingbo affirmed one thing, the attack on the "Bat Xiao" was definitely not the "Atlanta"-class attack submarine. Nor the Royal Navy's "Fast" class attack submarines. With the "Manta Whale" passive sonar detection capability, even if the enemy boat is in the sonar blind zone at the tail, if you want to avoid being spotted by the "Manta Whale", you have to aim the boat at the "Manta Whale" and stay in the "Manta Whale" sonar blind spot all the time. The submersible micro-attack sonar is controlled by the width of the base array, and the ranging and measurement performance when working passively is not ideal. That is, even if it can be "bats." number, and at most can only roughly grasp the "bat trio." It is impossible to know the sailing degree and separation distance of the "Bathan". In this way, not to mention the torpedo attack on the "Manta Whale", which was able to continue tracking for the old hours, did not rush to the front, and the front of the "Manta Whale" was very amazing. Obvious. The ambush of the "Manta Scale" again was still the unidentified American submarine. I have to say that the luck of the "Manta Whale" is really too bad. Or rather, the captain of the boat was very stubborn, and after fighting the "Bat", he actually followed the previous course without repentance. From this, it was concluded that the captain of the boat was either stupid or knew the whereabouts of the "Bat" very well. Of course, there is a third possibility, that is, the boat must go to the southwest to carry out combat missions.

Which is possible?

Xiao Jingbo ruled out the first possibility first, and the boat was able to seize the fleeting opportunity. The attack on the "Manta Whale" while it was communicating with the outside world is enough to prove that the captain of the boat is powerful enough.

After careful consideration, Xiao Jingbo felt that the second possibility must exist.

The fact that the "Manta Whale" was attacked after extending its communications mast and had not been attacked for the previous hour showed that the boat had been following the "Manta Whale" and had been using the passive detection system all along, and only then did it discover the whereabouts of the "Manta Scales" from the disturbance caused by the communication mast sliding through the sea surface, and then attacked. From this, it can be concluded that when the boat sailed in the southwest direction, it must have known that the "Manta Whale" was also retreating from this direction, and at least it was enough to be sure, otherwise it would not have been running the passive detection system. More importantly, the boat must have been in a state of combat readiness all the time, otherwise it would not have been possible to complete the preparations for the attack in just tens of seconds. Other words. The boat was well aware of the actions of the "Manta Whale". To be precise, it should be that the captain of the boat knows the captain of the "Manta" well.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingbo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The other party knows him well, which is enough to prove three things.

It was the US Navy that had all the information about Captain Xiao Jingbo of the Navy of the Republic and knew everything about this ace captain, otherwise it would not have been possible to judge so accurately what method Xiao Jingbo would use to command the "Bat Scale" operation. Second, the US intelligence departments have long had information on the "Manta Whale" and knew about the existence of the "Manta Whale" and the specific performance of the "Manta Han" at least a few months ago, because Xiao Jingbo only became the captain of the "Manta" a few months ago, and if he did not know the situation of the "Manta Whale," it would be impossible to know which officer commanded the "Manta Whale." Third, the US Navy knows that the "Manta Whale" has entered the South Atlantic, and it has long been prepared to deal with the "Manta Whale." Otherwise, the ship will be in full pursuit, let alone stubbornly fighting.

At this time, Xiao Jingbo didn't think about the third possibility at all.

There is no doubt that the boat is still nearby. According to Xiao Jingbo's judgment, the damage to the boat's active noise jamming system must have been more serious than that of the "Bat Continuation," otherwise it would not have carefully followed the "Manta Whale" instead of closing the distance and using the active attack sonar to determine the accurate location of the "Bat Scale" and then attacking. You know, in this case, the "Manta Whale" has almost no chance of escaping.

The problem is that the active noise control system of the "Manta Whale" will soon strike.

There is no such thing as the best "invisibility cloak". Two of the most advanced submarines in the world can only fight bayonets.

Where the hell is the boat hiding?

When I think about it. Xiao Jingbo inadvertently saw the number on the depth mark, and was immediately startled.

"Lao He,"

Xiao Jingbo stood up, "No, five on the tail, dive slowly."

Han Anbang was stunned for a moment and nodded at the helmsman.

"This time we have a very strong opponent." Xiao Jingbo smiled bitterly and said to Han Anbang, "How long have you been serving on the submarine?" ”

"It's been almost twelve years."

"Almost. I'm already a captain at your time. Xiao Jingbo patted Han Anbang's shoulder and said, "From now on." It's up to you to command" Bat Han. No, I'll be your deputy

"I,, Lao Xiao," I, Han Anbang, suddenly scrambled.

"I thought about it. It is very likely that the US officers on the boat have all my information, and they have a clear understanding of my combat habits and tactical thinking, Xiao Jingbo sighed and said, "Obviously. The Yankees do not want us to leave quietly, and want to decide in this battle who is the most advanced attack submarine in the world. It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I feel like we're all going to be doomed if we don't change our routine. The loss of a submarine is a trivial matter, and the lives of the more than thirty brothers on board are in our hands, and we cannot play with them. ”

"However, the rules of the Navy

"Don't care about those bullshit rules, if General Hua Jianfeng was here, he would do the same."

Han Anbang was still a little hesitant, and said: "Since the opponent is sneering at you, you should know that I am the deputy captain of this submarine, and I should also be relieved,"

"Anbang, you forgot one thing."

"Shiva"

"Didn't you take a vacation?"

Han Anbang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Xiao Jingbo meant.

Before the "Manta Whale" left Hong Kong, Han Anbang had already applied for family leave, and the result was that on the day he bought the ticket home. The submarine command issued an urgent order, and only two hours before the "Bat Han" left port, Han Anbang decided to give up his vacation and follow the submarine to sea. Because the time was too tight, Xiao Jingbo did not come to adjust the crew report, so in the record, the "Manta Whale" did not have a deputy captain, but the chief engineer concurrently served as the deputy captain. At that time, Xiao Jingbo didn't take this matter to heart, because according to the arrangement. Before the end of the exercise, the "Manta Whale" will rendezvous with the submarine carrier and send the "wounded" to the mothership, and then Han Anbang's name will be added. As a result, before the exercise was over, the "Bat" left the northern Indian Ocean and embarked on an expedition to the South Atlantic. That is, until this time, in the "attendance file" of the submarine forces of the Navy. , Han Anbang's name does not appear in the crew list of the "Manta Whale".

"That's it, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you." Xiao Jingbo smiled and said, "Besides, I will leave after I go back." When the time comes, it's up to you to command the submarine. ”

"Old Xiao,"

"Don't say it. Sit on. Xiao Jingbo pressed Han Anbang into the captain's position and said to the officers around him. The exchange of command was under the command of Captain Han Anbang. ”

Commanded by Captain "Foranbang". "The chief engineer was a little uncomfortable when he conveyed the order.

Han Anbang gritted his teeth, quickly stabilized his emotions, and said: "Fifteen on the top, fifteen on the tail, maintain the degree." Ready to shoot underwater robots. ”

Hearing Han Shibang's order, Xiao Jingbo frowned slightly and did not interject.

Obviously, Han Anbang's tactical choice is also very different from Xiao Jingbo.

In other words. If Xiao Jingbo were to command, he would definitely let the "bats." continued to dive. As the newest submarine of the Republic, the "Manta Jiao" is not only the same as the "killer whale." The pressure-resistant shell is made of high-strength alloy, and the thickness of the shell is increased by improving the welding process, and the pressure resistance of the shell is greatly improved by improving the construction process. According to the design standards, the maximum safe depth of the "Manta Bao" was more than yo meters, and during the sea trial, the "Manta Whale" was able to safely dive to 2 meters of the beater's mouth without preparation. Such an astonishing depth capability would certainly not be useful in the offshore waters, so it is certain that the Manta Whale is a submarine designed and built to fight in the oceans.

The advantages of increasing the depth of the dive are very prominent, not to mention that the maximum attack depth of all kinds of anti-submarine torpedoes in service is generally within the meter of the object, only a few kinds of torpedoes can attack the purpose of sacrificing meters below the meter, and there are only two kinds of torpedoes with an attack depth of more than the thug's strength, and all of them are heavy anti-submarine torpedoes. Although the depth of the torpedo increases rapidly as the maximum depth of the submarine increases, it is known that the depth of the torpedo increases. As long as the "Manta" dives and persuades Mi, there is basically no need to worry about being sunk by the enemy's torpedoes.

The problem is that there really aren't many sea areas in the world that can be used for the "Bat" to dive at a hearty depth.

Strictly speaking. Although the depth of the sea area with gills is more than the thug's persuasion, the water depth above the irrigation is within the yang meter. It is precisely for this reason that the US Navy has not paid much attention to the maximum depth of submarines. It is believed that the diving depth of the submarines is sufficient, and if it is set to be larger, it will also push up the cost of submarines, thereby reducing the number of submarines that can be equipped, and ultimately weakening the combat effectiveness of the submarine force.

Regardless of whose design philosophy is right, most dive micro-lengths agree that the deeper you dive, the better

Whole.

Clearly, Furangbang is not part of the "majority".

In fact, the choice of Foranbang is also understandable, because in the sea area where the "Manta Whale" is located, the maximum water depth is less than one meter of the beater's kiss, and the bottom of the sea is very flat. The point of continuing to dive is not obvious.

What made Xiao Jingbo a little puzzled was, why did Han An use underwater robots?

The underwater robot is not a combat equipment of the "Manta Whale", not even a part of the "Manta", but an autonomous submersible operated by the Navy to rescue wrecked submarines, and of course can also be used to transport special forces. Because the "cuttlefish" has been operating in the Bohai Bay, where the environment is relatively harsh, and its displacement is less than one-third of that of a regular submarine, the navy has arranged for the test work of this equipment to the "Manzao." In the trials of the previous months. The officers and men of the "Manta Whale" not only completed the main test items of the underwater robot, but also came up with many clever ways to use the underwater robot. For example, let the underwater robot carry a searchlight and a camera to shoot underwater targets.

"Report, the underwater robot is ready."

Xiao Jingbo came back to his senses and looked at Han Anbang.

"Depth?"

"New, it's still rising."

"Steady." Wei Anbang looked at the depth gauge, and when the reading became 4 old, he said, "The tail is flat, and the propulsion system is stopped." ”

The helmsman was taken aback. I thought I heard it wrong.

Xiao Jingbo was also a little surprised, but he nodded at the helmsman and did not interfere with Han Anbang

"Underwater robot preparation.

Han Anbang took a long breath and glanced at Xiao Jingbo before he said, "Wire control mode, the minimum self-propelled out of the tube." ”

Xiao Jingbo still did not intervene. Instead, let the ordnance chief act according to Han Anbang's orders.

"The thug, No. 2, 3, and 4 torpedo tubes are filled with water, and the line guides the full mode, and the shooting accuracy is done

After speaking, Han Anbang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked at Xiao Jingbo.

By this time, Xiao Jingbo had probably guessed Han Anbang's intentions.

To put it simply, Han Anbang is going to turn the underwater robot into a "bomb" to light up the surroundings. Although the name is "Robot." "It's actually more like a torpedo with a strange shape. When not in use, all of the robot's working equipment is stowed in a cylindrical hull and is only deployed in all directions when it is working. Considering that in some extreme working environments, it is not possible to obtain electrical energy from the outside world. Therefore, the underwater robot has two sets of power supply equipment, one is powered by the mother boat through the cable, and the other is powered by its own composite battery, and the composite battery can be charged by the mother boat through the cable.

What Han Anbang wants to take advantage of is the fact that it can charge the composite battery.

Although all composite batteries have an overvoltage protection device, which automatically disconnects the circuit after the voltage is over-customized to avoid excessive voltage damaging the battery structure, in the case of sudden application of high voltage, the overvoltage protection device of the composite battery is meaningless. In normal use, it will not encounter "high voltage", even if it is struck by lightning, the voltage of tens of millions of volts is not "high voltage". "Only voltages of more than 100 million volts are high voltages, and this high voltage is artificially made, and there is a device on board the "Manta Whale" to create this "high voltage": a self-destruct system. That is to say, when the composite battery is shocked by hundreds of millions of volts, the result is self-detonation.

There is no doubt that the power of the self-detonation of the composite battery is very amazing.

Thankfully, the underwater robot's wires are several kilometers long, which is enough to ensure the safety of the submarine.

More importantly, a powerful explosion had to be used to locate the boat and ensure the safety of the Bat.

As the underwater robot drove out of the No. 6 torpedo tube of the "Manhan", Xiao Jingbo walked to Han Anguo's side, staring intently at several sets of data on the fire control screen.

When the set of data representing the length of the wires that had been released became a beater, Xiao Jingbo nodded at Han Anbang.

"Isn't it too early?

"No matter how far we go, we'll be exposed."

Han Anbang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said to the chief of ordnance: "The underwater robot stops moving forward and connects the wire to the submarine's self-destruct device. ”

"Self-destruct device!?" The armory chief was startled and immediately looked at Xiao Jingbo.

"Cut off the circuit between the self-destruct device and the boat's battery, and then do as Anbang instructs."

The armorer's brow jumped a few times. Turned and left the command center. The self-destruct device is located in the battery compartment below and is the only system in the entire boat that needs to be manually disarmed.

"How sure are you?" When Xiao Jingbo asked, he took out a cigarette and lit one for Han Anbang first.

"It's not big, but at least it can change the passive situation." Han Anbang took two puffs violently.

Xiao Jingbo nodded and took two puffs. Although there is no need to relax, in Xiao Jingbo's opinion, if he does not do well, this will be the last cigarette he smokes in the world.

The two of them smoked half of their cigarettes. The Ordnance Chief returned to the command center.

"Old Xiao, come on."

"There's no need, it's up to you to give the order

Han Anbang took a deep breath and didn't push again. After putting the fire control calculation buckle into "passive detection mode", he nodded to the ordnance chief.

After seeing Xiao Jingbo's affirmative gaze, the armoryman pressed the switch of the self-destruct device.

The composite battery on the "Manta Whale" did not explode, and the old kilogram composite battery on the underwater robot many meters away was detonated by high voltage.

Violent tremors and dull explosions were heard at the same time, and the officers and men in the boat clung to the handrails.

In the violent tremors, several alarm lights flashed, and the officers and men in the command center also became excited. Those warning lights indicate. The submarine was damaged, and there was a leak in the compartment.

When the submarine stabilized. Xiao Jingbo and Han Anbang's eyes fell on the fire control screen, and neither of them cared about the flashing alarm lights.

Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves, and even if they are transmitted several times more in seawater than in air, it takes a few seconds to a few seconds to a few seconds to receive sound waves reflected by other submarines thousands of meters or even kilometers away. Of course, there is no need to be patient, and it will soon be known whether the boat is ambushed nearby.

See a flash of light that suddenly appears. Xiao Jingbo and Han Anbang sighed at the same time, and showed a smile at the same time.

"Hitter to torpedo salvo No. 4." Han Anbang had no situation Xiao Jingbo, when he gave the order, he entered several sets of commands on the fire control platform, and activated an attack sonar on the boat in the captain's control mode.

When four torpedoes rushed out of the torpedo tubes one after another, the active attack sonar on the "Manta Whale" also began to work.

"Captain, the aft compartment is flooded."

Xiao Jingbo called the chief engineer with a panicked look to leave the command center and walked towards the stern of the boat.

If the boat could not be sunk, even if the loophole in the aft compartment was plugged, the "Bats" would not be able to return to the military port of the Republic.

Success or failure is here, and Han Anbang must not be disturbed.
